Big data shows Sinchon, Hongdae rising as daytime hotspots for foreign nationals
빅데이터, "신흥 외국인 주간 ‘핫플' 신촌과 홍대"


By Ko Dong-hwan

Foreign residents from Chinese-speaking countries live and spend most of their time in southwestern Seoul, whereas foreign residents from Western countries tend to flock to the capital's Gangnam District, according to big data analysis of foreign nationals who have stayed in Seoul for 90s days or longer.
서울 내 90일 이상 거주한 외국인을 대상으로 실시한 빅데이터 분석에 따르면 중화권 외국인들은 서울 서남권에 거주하거나 시간을 보내는 반면 서구권 외국인들은 주로 강남구에 거주하고 있는 것으로 드러났다.


Daerim-dong and Guro-dong, in Seoul's southwestern districts of Yeongdeungpo and Guro, respectively, have been the home of a rising number of foreign residents in Seoul, particularly Chinese speakers, even before the pandemic began in early 2020. Together with Geumcheon District, situated south of the two districts, the three adjoining districts had the highest registered numbers of foreign nationals staying in the city long-term, according to the data released June 27.
서울 서남권에 해당하는 영등포구 대림동과 구로구 구로동은 2020년 초 코로나19 팬데믹이 유행하기 전부터 외국인, 특히 중화권 외국인 대다수가 거주해왔다. 지난 27일 공개된 자료에 따르면 영등포구와 구로구 남쪽에 위치한 금천구까지 서로 인접한 세 지역에 장기 체류하는 외국인 등록 인구가 가장 많았다.


The city government planned the latest data analysis to check where the city's long-term foreign residents live and where they spend their daytime hours. The authority inferred the nighttime count as a figure closest to the number of long-term foreign residents of the city. The daytime count was rather a yardstick for guessing where the residents were usually active. The analysis tallied foreigners' "daily life population" figures by gathering the telecommunications records and public big data from April 4 in each of the 425 administrative "dong" areas of the city's 25 local districts.
서울시는 서울 내 장기 거주 외국인의 거주지 및 주간 활동지를 파악하기 위해 최근 데이터 분석을 계획했다. 서울시는 야간 인구를 서울 내 장기 거주 외국인의 거주지로 추론했다. 오히려 주 활동 지역을 추측하는 기준으로 주간 인구를 활용했다. 이번 조사에서는 4월 4일부터 서울 25개 행정구 내 425개 행정동의 통신 기록과 공공 빅데이터를 활용해 외국인 거주자의 ‘주간 인구' 총계를 냈다.


"The daily life population tallies give a more precise outlook on the supply-and-demand trend for foreigners using our city's administrative services than the numbers registered at the central government's old database," said Kim Seon-soon, chief of the Women and Family Policy Affairs Office under the city government.
김선순 서울시 여성가족정책실장은 "생활인구는 행정통계로 집계된 등록인구보다 도시 및 행정서비스 등의 수요와 공급을 더 잘 파악할 수 있는 통계 자료"라고 전했다.
